To provide a framework for the delivery of all single and multi-agency training to ensure that this is effectively co-ordinated and delivered to a consistently high standard.
To ensure that a process exists for quality assuring the effectiveness and impact of training and that there is sufficient, relevant training to meet workforce needs across the partnership.
Principles
There should be a culture of continuous learning and improvement across the organisations that work together to safeguard and promote the welfare of children, families and adults.
All training must be consistent with the requirements of national legislation, respect diversity and promote equality.
Professionals and organisations working with children, families and adults need to reflect on the quality of their services and learn from their own practice and that of others.
All staff must be alert to potential indicators of abuse and neglect, know how to act on those concerns and to fulfil their roles and responsibilities for safeguarding children, or adults in line with appropriate RBSB multi-agency policy and procedures.
All training should promote a child centred/ person centred approach where the needs of the individual are paramount and where people receive the support they need before problems escalate.
All training will ensure that the philosophy of “make no decision about me, without me” is embedded into practice.
